You guys are so close, just go to Dutchess County, NY and get your mind blown.
Agreed, I've recently been experimenting with this area and love it. It's quite a maze of roads that maps out like a choose your own adventure book!

Both good roads, but in the summer make sure you stick to the speed limit past Cedar lake an rt 148. A hot spot for Radar traps.
There was also a radar trap on Rt 72 the last time i was on it - near Rt4 but that's the first time i've seen it there.

There are quite a few. It's just when the UPS or Oil delivery gets in front of you that sucks! Try RT 148 from Durham to Chester some day.
I think it's RT 72 from Bristol to RT 4 that's short but fun.

I'm going to go east today. From the CT river to RT 11. Any of the roads on this map are fun. And there is a good Hot Dog place on RT 66 at RT 151. Maybe I'll takes some pics, too.
Sorry, no pics but it was fun!

I did that on my second day off but didn't post any details because most of the ride was RT 23 and RT 57 in Mass. That was fun!

Knobby,
If you're heading east on 66 it's past Cobalt but before Marlboro. Should be on your left. At least it was there last year (summer)...NOT A crap Dunkin but an Indi(pendent).
